- All of our 12 apartments have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and are fully self contained. Our apartments are in a 3 storey building without lifts i.e. we do not have any apartments at ground level - stairs must be negotiated even for our lowest floor apartments (16 stairs to 1st floor). If you have a dicky knee, bad ticker, 6 month old triplets, a drinking problem, or just can’t be bothered climbing too many stairs, RING US NOW and see if we can facilitate a first floor apartment request.
- We have a limited supply of cots and highchairs (free of charge), so book in advance.
- Maximum occupancy is 6 irrespective of age (i.e. includes infants/children). Bedding configuration: main bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite, 2nd bedroom has 2 single beds only and own ensuite. Acting on comments about guest comfort, we have now removed the lounge sofa bed and all apartments have one single folding bed. If you require bedding for a 6th person, we require advance notice.
- Kitchens are well equipped with a good size refrigerator, cook-top, microwave and other kitchen knick-knacks – but if you want a real holiday, we’ve got 3 good restaurants within walking distance and several others only a bus ride away..
- All apartments feature reverse-cycle inverter air-conditioning units in each bedroom and the living area and have their own telephone, DVD/CD player, washing machine and clothes dryer.
- Apartments are serviced weekly. We provide a complimentary initial supply of tea/coffee/sugar, detergents, paper towel & toilet tissue. Our conveniently located supermarket is open 7am-7pm daily if you require more during your stay.
- Marine Stinger Season (poisonous jelly-fish). “Is it safe to swim?” Townsville City Council tells us Marine Stinger Season is November to May/June, and co-ordinate netted swimming enclosures at Picnic Bay and Horseshoe Bay during the season but still recommend wearing a full lycra or stinger suit within the netted area. All other months they say our waters are safe. Further information available view links via “Stingers” section on this website www.marinestingers.com.au
- No pets/animals permitted (excludes animals within the meaning of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 of the Commonwealth)
- The resort has an attractive outdoor swimming pool (heated in the Winter months) with an in-pool spa (i.e. not a separate spa); 2 BBQ areas, one half court tennis and table tennis.
- Yes, you can squeeze in one more pair of swimmers or one more Hawaiian shirt if you leave out your beach towels. We hire towels for $5 each, 1-7 days. RING US NOW and pre-book yours – supplies are limited.
We hope you’ve found this information helpful; we look forward to welcoming you to Island Palms and remember, any queries at all, ring, email or fax us.
